About the book

Youve had no sleep since the firefight last night.

The morning fog beyond the walls of your base lifts to reveal a lone woman approaching the gate.

She says she has come to claim the body of her brother killed in last nights attack.

Is she a terrorist? A spy? A lunatic?
Or what she says she is a grieving sister?

What should you do?

What do you do?
